listening deeply, living well
” When the soul is alive to beauty,
we begin to see life in a fresh and vital way.”
– John O’ Donahue
Welcome
I am Lydia Royce and
I am glad you are here.
I desire to share hope as we explore
love and joy, suffering and pain.
I invite you to join me in this journey of
living well by listening deeply
to the gentle voice of the Lover of our soul.
